Serious, is there a command line tool or a GUI based tool that

"calculates" cords?
OT: At least I should fire up Qtractor now, but I'm still short in time.
FWIW I don't care, I only know that the OP is mistaken, because I teach

music and the pupils wished to know about theory. For "God's sake", in

Germany we also have a "theory of harmony" regarding to it's

functionality, e.g. c d# f# a is a symmetrical cord. Nobody cares about

it's name, but we care a lot about the emotions people listening to this

cord.
Since I'm a guitarist most of the chords I prefer are named insane.
Jimi Hendrix: Eb(no 3rd), Aadd9 and the sharp ninth, E7#9. Set to the

situational context I simply name "E7#9" "E major", so a simple blues

gets "Voodoo Chile"-quality.
However, as long as we don't try to get a certificate from an academy,

the names of cords are completely irrelevant.
It's bullshit, nobody needs to know. For a gig we need to know what

emotion should be transmitted, so we only need scripts that remind us to

the basics, such as C or C-. If the cord is a 7, major or minor etc.

shouldn't matter.
